9Joint ResearchResearch ResourcesTraining Young Scholars/Publicizing Research ResultsSummary Linguistic Diversity and Linguistic Theory: Morphological Typology and Syntactic Diversity(Coordinator: Nakayama, Toshihide) AIM OF PROJECT : (1) to study the diversity of the formal unit of word both in terms of structure (internal structure) and of function (division of labor between morphology and syntax); (2) to explore the most appropriate way to position morphology in relation to syntax and also within the overall makeup of grammar. OUTPUT SO FAR : (1) a workshop on crosslinguistic issues in parts of speech distinction, organized at the meeting of the Linguistic Society of Japan (2008.6); (2) a group of papers submitted to the journal Asian and African Languages and Linguistics 3. WORK PLANNED : Three meetings are planned this year to summarize the research activities and to work toward a general characterization of the role of the ‘word’ domain within the structural and functional dynamics of language.Ethnographical Study on the Life-Worlds of Muslim Peoples and Their Transformations under Globalization (Coordinator: Iizuka, Masato) The main purpose of this joint research project is to investigate, ethnographically, the realities of the life-worlds of various Muslim peoples all over the world, and to explain, comparatively, common elements (Islamic universality) and unique elements (local particularities) of the realities. The transformations of Muslims’ daily life and their life-worlds are within the scope of our research, as the global trends, such as Globalization, Modernization, Secularization and Islamic revival cannot be overlooked. Through the 11 meetings including two international workshops during 2005 - 2008 academic years, the notion of “the Life-Worlds” was examined from various perspectives, referring to the concrete cases varying from Africa to Southeast Asian islands. As the academic year 2009 is supposed to be the nal year of the “Research and Educational Project for Middle East and Islamic Studies”, the main frame of the project, the over-all out-come is expected to be made public at the international symposium planned on December, 2009 in Tokyo.Marcel Mauss Reconsidered: “Société”, “Echange” and “Coopérative” (Coordinator: Majima, Ichiro) AIM OF PROJECT : Through an exhaustive reference to the works of Mauss, including a large number of comments on current political / economic affairs etc., we aim at a fresh reconsideration of “le social” from the anthropological view-point in the Post-Welfare State era. OUTPUT SO FAR : We prepared and published, as the preliminary results of project, the KWIC (Key-word in context) index of the main works of Mauss (http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~tjun/data/mauss/), with the original texts of “L’année sociologique” (http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~tjun/data/socio/annee_socio.html).WORK PLANNED : We will publish “Marcel Mauss Collection” (in Japanese, 5 vols.) from 2010.Synthetic Study of Representation(Coordinator: Takachio, Hitoshi) Following the former research project of ‘Comparative Study on Travel and Representation’ the current project aims at a synthetic study of representation and makes clear problematics on ‘What is Representation to Men? ’The researches will be mainly on the following three issues:1.
